2 nights of hardcore action solo pvp.
1st night
Set up bubble 2 jumps from hub in fountain in my deimos wait for traffic. and wait.....and wait. 2 pods come in , see bubble and log. wait 90 mins...nothing.
so i unanchor bubble. Just as it unanchors to the second a 5 man gang comes in, steals bubble and runs away 
Second Day
I setup my astarte and go from fountain hub - empire and back. No scout i figure if i die i die. Go for it.
On the route i encounter 2 nano gangs (m.pire / cruel intentions) that i bypass as i cant realistically fight them.
Literally every 2 jumps there is a farmer ( strange name + sec staus 5.0 + responds to chinese) that cloaks / safespots on entering system.
Get to empire gate, camp for a bit. Myrmidon gets in and makes it back to the gate  Some frigs come in and warp off. 2 scouts in system seem to warn people of my presence.
At last a target ! A drake comes to the gate. I follow it into empire , tackle all guns blazing. It warps away :/ stabbed.
I head back to fountain , through the farmers...
At last some action.. (2 hours in) I see people being ransomed. Follow the pirates  See two vagas on scan. Oh wait, scan clear. Surely not cloaking vagas?..
slothe > vagas with cloaks :/
Crulos > ;)
Sunstr0ke > ratters with cloak ^^
slothe > both equally sad
Crulos > bad 4 you
Crulos > good 4 us
slothe > bad 4 game
slothe > virtually everyone i passed from fountain central - emopire and back
slothe > cloaked
slothe > really really sad
slothe > and its not even like vagas need cloaks
slothe > they just run away
Sunstr0ke > lets go mine =D
Crulos > mining vaga ftw ::)
slothe > wouldnt surprise me
So end of day 2 - 4 hours on , no fights. Isnt 0.0 fun.
The illustration shows the following imho..
1. Cloaks are ruining 0.0 ( they have become almost a standard fit on any size ship. i have seen them on interceptors / cruisers / bc / bs etc... ) Please nerf cloaks asap
2.Farmers are tainting 0.0 They are everywhere. I dont mind the farmers on a personal level, some are ok, but their prevelance degrades the game.
3. nano gangs are spoiling 0.0 ( yes i know i fly nano ships) (yes i know my corp pioneered nano gangs) (yes i know they can be countered) Nano gangs spoil 0.0 as no-one wants to fight them = less battles.
p.s. i am not criticising cruel intentions, m.pire or the guys i quoted here im just using them as examples.

I've encountered all of these problems, and never done them, but all I can say is get over it.
Maybe you are correct these problems just annoy me as i now see them daily wheras it used to not be very often.

There are plenty of fights to be had in 0.0...you just have to know where to look

i mean dude the second example here proves my point, just look at the sheer nano-ness of your gang compared to the opposition

Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury
to give a valid opinion you need to have seen and be able to understand both sides of the argument.
i never use cloaks on npc or pvp ships (except recons which were designed to use them)
i do fly in nano gangs, but i prefer not to ( but given the choice of staying docked doing nothing or flying in them i do).
i think a hypocrit is someone who tells someone not to do what they do. im not doing that. im just concerned in the direction this game is going. people who are able to have litle or no risk in 0.0 , which is not what 0.0 was designed for. there should be a degree of risk in 0.0, and having a cloak, nano fitting etc decreases the risk in 0.0 and in doing so devalues it.

Remember, there's no point in battles you'd loose.

This illustrates everyones attitude (which is perfectly understandable).
But this is where i disagree. There is a point of fighting fights you could lose-
1. Its fun, and who cares its a game (i play a game for fun not kill statistics).
2. With any luck you will learn something from the fight. Theres a saying that its often better to fight and lose where you will learn something, than fight and win easily. If you win easily wheres the fun in that- its at this point that its simply a matter of statistics. Wheres the fun in easy ganks in nano ships - is this really enjoyable? Ive done this myself, its no fun. It was more fun yuears ago flying around in cruisers where you could win some figfhts and lose others with - skill - theres no skill in nano gangs at all. nano gangs are for kill statistic players only imho
